Hi, everyone! My name is Jill. I
want to talk about my uncle, Henry
and his typical day. My uncle is
thirty-three years old. He is two
years older than my mother. He
is tall and fat with straight black
hair and brown eyes. My mother
always calls him a “couch potato”
because he spends most of the
day in front of the TV.
1. ____ My uncle usually gets up at around ten
o’clock every morning. He washes his hands and face
and then turns the TV on. He starts the day watching
reality shows. At twelve o’clock, he watches the news
on TV. When commercials appear, he doesn’t change
the channel or turn the TV off. He spends most of the
day zapping to find something interesting to watch.
He prefers watching movies, TV series and reality
favourite. He sometimes falls asleep on the sofa and
can’t go to bed.
2. ____ I feel sorry for my uncle because watching
too much TV has many bad effects on him. Because
he prefers watching TV to doing exercise, he has
many health problems. He always has a headache
or stomachache. Watching TV is also harmful for his
eyes and mental development. Because most of the
programmes on TV are not educational, he doesn’t
improve his creativity or intelligence. It also makes
him lazy. He never goes out or socialize, so he doesn’t
have any friends.
3. ____ I think he should change his lifestyle. He
should spend less time in front of the TV. He should
go out and socialize to make new friends. He should
spend more time with his family.

F. Read the text and answer the questions. G. R
